(Mugs in progress... Ready to load for bisque firing.)
While it's encouraging that studio visitors are attracted to the finished pieces and they're selling well, it's even more encouraging that I'm attracted to the finished work! In the past, my usual feeling about my work would be initial excitement, followed by idea-chasing, followed by a little let-down when the pieces are not as envisioned upon kiln-opening.
However, current kiln-openings are different - in a good way. Much less likely to result in let-down and more likely to propel me happily into making little changes to improve or enhance an elements.
And that seems like progress!

Sure, makes sense. Narrowing down your focus is good, especially since your customers are responding too!! Double prizes :o)
I always wondered before I started working in clay why some artists had only one or two particular glazes and now I know, it does make sense to be able to perfect technique and glazes.
oh brilliant, well done on the series it really has captured you and your customers...great work..
you really are pulling thise together nicely.
Better all the time.
that is definitely progress... i'm very familiar with the feeling that it didn't end up as i envisioned at the very enthusiastic outset
